    lol tried that with a mouse sized rat and two incredibly stinky mice three days together and well he didn't bite I am at such a loss here I've owned coastals before and they weren't as picky....on a good note my new baby girl JCP ate her very first rat fuzzy today so proud of her though she"s not sure on the killing thing I had to finish it off and she ate it lol

    Once your jungles are on rats don't give them anything esle. Even still, some will prefer mice as they age. Some just never switch....but I wish you luck in your efforts.
